An upcoming documentary, The Truth About Elvis, takes an in-depth look at the conspiracy theory that The King lives. director Dan Bliss wants to separate the film from tabloid fodder, and make sure people the style and imagery of a true and earnest documentary. To do that, he's enlisted the help of the Panasonic AG-HVX200.Bliss says the camera is a perfect fit for all the traveling 'Elvis required. He also praises it's ability to to shoot lengthy interviews with the help of a P2 Store portable hard drive. Using a Powerbook, Bliss would offload the footage to an external firewire drive, then back up each card to DVD. The system offers storage redundancy, and is a pretty good work-around for the current limitations of P2.
Of course, this isn't the first time we've posted on the success of the HVX in real world applications. Still, it continues to amaze as a an affordable option for "film" and television. Click READ below for more info about the film, and the work flow surrounding it.
1. There's no doubt the HVX200 is a great camera. However, do you realise that you are linking to a Panasonic Press Release? Panasonic is very busy posting success stories of the camera of course, it's just part of their marketing machinery. Just like any other company is promoting their products.
I appreciate the high quality of contant that DVguru.com delivers day in and day out - but if this kind of unprofessional reporting continues, I'd be very worried about this website's future. Please, don't hide advertising messages for companies in reports like this one! That's just deception.
